The City of Alpharetta continues to battle icing conditions on priority roadways, bridges and overpasses. Ice is present on most roadways, and current temperatures will ensure that treated roadways will quickly refreeze.

It is recommended that the public refrain from vehicle travel for the remainder of this weather event due to road conditions.
